While C and Daddy went to the Star Wars Concert, K girl and I went to see the new Disney movie--The Princess and the Frog. Very cute story line, but I really didn't like the movie. I felt it should have been rated more than just G. K was actually scared in some parts. What I didn't like was the "bad person" in this movie. Every Princess Disney movie has one. This one was a voodoo doctor that had a voodoo doll and pin, masks that "came to life as shadows," and friends "on the other side" that he talked to. Voodoo magic is very real. I had an "inkling" that there would be some stuff like this in the movie--from the previews, but I wasn't prepared for the amount. There is a lot. In my head, the voodoo aspect stands out more than the story line. But not so for K girl. She talks about the movie, but only the frogs and her dress and her crown and the alligator. I'm thankful for that. I actually don't think we will even buy this one. Very sad. I'm extremely disappointed in Disney. They could have taken a very cute story line and made a very cute movie.

even though our kiddies are older and handle "scary" stuff better, we are not seeing this movie. there are MANY reasons and the voodoo you mentioned is one of them.
i haven't checked this movie out on pluggedin, but they usually do a GREAT job of reviewing movies. it's from james dobson and the site is www.pluggedinonline.com
